“Antiquarian books" generally refers to all types of "old books”, "rare books" or "antique books". Collecting antiquarian books combines the appreciation of great literature, art and historic memorabilia. You can collect antiquarian books for pleasure and investment, most collectors find both. Careful buying and selling can reap great rewards and allow you to grow your rare book collection. Antiquarian book collectors often specialize in particular subjects or periods of history. This is recommended so in that way you can become quite knowledgeable and an expert in particular areas. This will help you in your pursuit of rare book treasures and give you the edge over more general antiquarian book collectors.
